Gicat interest ia beino* taltnn nl the present time throughout the entire moneyed world in hydraulic mining. The fact is attested by the presence of the dill'oinnt nationalities represented in the Cariboo country English, Canadian, American nml French capitalists are at present on- gaged in largo undertakings. British Columbia lias not been as closely Worked in n milling way as have the gold producing States of tho United States, Mexico, stum; of the American countries, Australia, or even New Zealand. Until lhe past two years who had heard of Kootenay or of Cariboo except us a worked out camp. Now tlie ovps of the world nre up on the development going ou in the various parts of the province. As tu what Cariboo is ciipnbla of when hydraulic mining I1119 readied the stage of mining perfection that has been reached in California and other sections, we can only judge by com parison. Mr, W. W. Anderson, who is now in tlie Horse Fly country nnd a mining man of ability, informed the wrhtr thnt for years he had managed a mine iu California where he paid from $90 to §125 per day for water and worked ground that averaged four cent-, per cubic yard and for many years paid rood dividends, Mr. Evans, of New Zealand who is now taking a look through Cariboo lias been lor ten years working a mine in New Zealand, where he lias TO miles of ditch, 800 inches of water, elevates the gravel SO feet and is working at a good profit, ground averaging five cents per cubic yutd. IS there a yard of blue wash gravel on the Quesnello or Fraser rivers, siij'ing no'hing of many other localities ihat will show with a fair test us low as five cents per cubic yard. Water is of course ihe great factor in wnrk in Cariboo, but man's ingenuity is rapidly' overcoming the difficulty by devising mpans of lift- Ing or forcing the water from rivers nnd streams and before many years hundreds of claims now regarded a- valueless on account of lack of wulm will be worked, and at a profit to lhe owners. COld, Intrinsic Value and Specie. Russia, having tired of paper money, Ismiw accumulating cold, hhe hns already a store of $500,01)0.000 and will In the near future resume specie payineul on n gold lusts. The tendency of tho civilized nnd commercial world h-ys been clearly in that direction. According in the free sllvcriles il simply means Hint the money demon Is in control nl' these countries- Rut IhIs is a partial vluw ol' the matter. Money must lie slable, ii must be universal. Thene conditions mv met with timsl conspicuously in mild. This lends us Ina question usku-i by a cur. respondent, Andrew Wilson Newton, who inquiries us to what Is meant by the Intrinsic value of gold and inlininii-s that it. Uis opinion. If nil Urn --old in Hie wnrld were annihilated clvilwullon would still golpu.. By iufrihslij.value is meant inherent value, li Is a vnlue of lisell. Such value may result Irom scarcity ol the article, or at k'ust may hit enhanced thereby, nml labor involved in n« prniliu:- llun. but it i-s always tilTeclcil by the du- siruliillty and uscl'nUness nf llu; nttluli', Gold is one of the mnsi useful ol all mettles.
